Elementary and Middle School Mathematics

Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, Seventh Edition by John A. Van de Walle, Late of Virginia Commonwealth University, Karen S. Karp, University of Louisville, Jennifer M. Bay-Williams, University of Louisville 

 

Math makes sense!  I can do math!    

 

This best-selling book helps pre-service and in-service teachers and their students come to believe that math makes sense and that they can make sense of it themselves.  If students are engaged in the doing of mathematics, their understanding and thus their confidence will grow.  For each strand of the mathematics curriculum, there is a discussion of how children develop along with tasks and activities for helping students learn, and a development of the mathematics content needed to be an effective teacher.

 

Includes the following successful pedagogical tools for learning

• NEW! MyEducationLab icons in every chapter connect topics and ideas from chapter content to related videos, Expanded Lessons, simulations and other activities found on the MyEducationLab website. To start using MyEducationLab, activate the access code packaged with your book. If your instructor did not make MyEducationLab a required part of your course or if you are purchasing a used book without an access code, go to www.myeducationlab.com to purchase access.
• NEW! Field Experience Guide Connections is a new box at the end of each chapter that connects content and topics from the chapter with related experiences and activities from the Field Experience Guide. If your instructor did not make the Field Experience Guide, referenced throughout this text, a required part of your course or if you are purchasing a used book without the Field Experience Guide, you may purchase it online at www.mypearsonstore.com, search ISBN 9780205583164.
• Expanded Lessons follow the lesson structure described in Chapter 4 and include mathematical goals, notes on preparation, specific student expectations, notes for assessment, and Blackline Masters when needed. The lessons provide a model for conveying an activity description into a real lesson plan and indicate the kind of thinking that is required in doing so. An example of an Expanded Lesson is found at the end of Chapter 4. In addition, one activity or concept in seven of the content chapters has been converted to a similar Expanded Lesson found on MyEducationLab.
• Big Ideas provide clear and succinct exploration of the most critical concepts in mathematics.
• Mathematics Content Connections list brief descriptions of other content areas in mathematics that are related to the cont...

Dr. John A. Van de Walle was one of the most renowned mathematics educators in the country and the author of Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, the book that, in its seventh edition, continues to be the leading text and resource in the United States and Canada for teaching K-8 mathematics. John A. Van de Walle graduated cum laude from Bellarmine College in 1965 with a degree in mathematics, earned his master's degree in mathematics at St. Louis University in 1967, and in 1972, earned his doctoral degree in mathematics education from Ohio State University. He spent most of his career at Virginia Commonwealth University where he was Professor Emeritus and for 29 years taught mathematics education to pre-service and in-service teachers. He retired in 2002, but continued to write and work with teachers to promote mathematics education. He also served as a consultant to various school systems in the U.S. and Canada. He was an active member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and served on its board of directors from 1998 to 2001. He once said, "It is fun to figure out the puzzle of how children go about making sense of mathematics and then how to help teachers help kids." Dr. Van de Walle died at home on December 2, 2006. He is survived by his wife Sharon of 40 years, his two daughters, and three grand daughters.
